If Bayern are eliminated, then I actually wish that the championship will also be screwed up. Nobody needs Bayern to become champions 20 times in a row. Not even Bayern itself. Certainly not the Bundesliga. And when Bayern becomes champion, then you talk yourself into it, that the season wasn’t good, but it was OK, the championship is the most honest title and you will attack all 3 competitions next season, blah blah.
If you have a season without a title, maybe a few things will be fundamentally questioned. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to throw out everyone responsible, but you have to question what Kahn and especially Brazzo are delivering there. More than 500 million were paid in transfer fees for players and coaches under Brazzo. There was also a high number of well-known loans (unusual for a top club): James, Coutinho, Perisic, Odriozola, Costa, Dantas, Cancelo. You just have to objectively evaluate how the composition of the squad worked. Everyone says Brazzo is extremely hardworking and dedicated as a sporting director/executive. But “He always tried very hard” is not a positive statement in a job reference.
In the Champions League, Bayern won the title in 2020 – favored by Corona and the special format. Otherwise, Bayern hasn’t even made it into the CL semi-finals or finals with Brazzo in the last 5 years, but has been knocked out in the quarter-finals or even the round of 16 every time. That’s not actually Bayern’s claim, it’s actually Bayern’s claim to be among the top 4 in Europe, ie normally in the CL semi-finals.
